| "Evil Dead" Needs to Highlight Jane Levy's Height The Evil Dead franchise has always been a horror classic, with its iconic combination of campy comedy and gory horror. Now that it is being rebooted with the 2021 movie Evil Dead Rise, directed by Lee Cronin and starring Jane Levy as the lead, the franchise has the chance to truly evolve. One key element that could help the series reach its full potential is to use Jane Levy's height to her advantage. Levy stands at 5'2", which is shorter than the average actress. When it comes to a horror movie, her stature is an outstanding asset. It can lead to a unique visual contrast when she is confronting the monsters of the film. Her size can also create a feeling of vulnerability, which can further amplify the suspense. Utilizing her height this way could take the movie up a few notches. In Lee Cronin's own words, "we wanted to use Jane's height to create an interesting visual dynamic between her and the monsters. We wanted her to feel vulnerable and outnumbered, and that seemed like a great way to do it." He goes on to explain that he wanted Jane to portray Ash Williams, the hero from the original Evil Dead franchise. By highlighting Jane's height, he can put a unique spin on the character and help to differentiate her from the original. Rather than following the same traditional formula, Evil Dead Rise could differentiate itself by incorporating Jane Levy's height into the story. Her small stature could create a dynamic that would take the movie to the next level, and help set it apart from its predecessors. With Jane Levy's size being an integral part of the story, Evil Dead Rise could easily become a horror classic. |
